Above, Left & Right: In 2013, the owners of this Omaha, Neb.,
home contacted McKay Landscape Lighting to overhaul the
outdoor lighting system. McKay had installed lighting in 1999,
and again in 2010 under a new owner. There are 283 fixtures on
site and seven transformers (900 and 1200-watt). The unusual
and spectacular water bowls in the front of the home are lit front
and back by four underwater brass MR-16, 35-watt halogens
(Focus Industries). Two spotlights (Aurora MR-16 20-watt
halogens) also direct light to the water feature. Four MR-16
20-watt downlights are inset in the portico's vaulted ceiling, with
two more beneath the caps of the brick columns.
Right: This is the west side of property, including the main drive
and garage area. Copper MR-16, 35-watt spots uplight the
maple trees. T3 wedge-base copper fixtures (Hadco, 10-watts)
under the wall caps wash the stone walls.
